Here is a picture of a non GT box. If you look at the tail housing it has a steel tube from where the gearlever goes to the back of the box and on the GT box this part is alloy with a web between it and the tailhousing. Hope this makes sense if not u2u me and i will try and take pics of the boxes i have.

Non GT Box


The GT box has a tailhousing similar to this (note this is a 2000E box the pic is just to give you an idea what the tailhousing looks like)


Cheers.

Hi Chris make shure that what you buy is a GT box. There have been more than a few locosters buy a GT box only to find that despit the alloy tailhousing it is a std ratio box. Reason a good number of boxes where uprated with the stronger tailhousing For reliability but not the ratios.

1st is the gear to check as it will either be a genuine 3.3 gt or the std 3.65 So relativly easy to tell the difference when checking.
